Cost for going turbo?

I wanna go turbo has anyone else tried and how much did it end up costing in the end? Is it reliable and did you do it yourself?

When you think you have all the parts added up add another $500 for parts that you didnt realize you needed.

In that case a local member traded his sc kit and $1500 for an old s20g HAHN kit. He then needed $500 in misc parts. He could of saved $80 but bought a boost controller that he hasnt used yet as he is on the wastegate spring.

Of course he got free help and a nice driveway from a few local members.

When getting a used kit be prepared to find stuff missing/broken during the install.
